Ponticelli, 19, had a couple of golden opportunities against the Stags but couldn’t find a way past goalkeeper Conrad Logan.

But Robins was encouraged by another bright performance from the forward who scored both goals as the Sky Blues beat Maidenhead United in the FA Cup last week.

"We have got a youngster in the team so I am not going to be critical, at all, because he is finding space in the box and does that really well," said Robins.

"The second chance is easy for me to look at it and say 'right, he should have taken another touch'.

"His first touch takes it across the defender and then he takes it and opens onto his right foot.

"But if he’d have taken it across the keeper it’s either a penalty or side foot into an empty net because the 'keeper has committed himself.

"I think the one in the first half as well, where he tried to hook it with his heel and the ball came back to him and he toe pokes it and the goalkeeper makes a decent save, so he’s finding decent space in the box, which is good."
